An ancient being walked silently across the mountains and lands, emanating a faint, dark red aura. Due to the unique cultivation method it practiced, divine thoughts passively overflowed from its mind, scattering like countless starry anomalies, resembling petals. They transformed into a shimmering expanse of light, dyeing more than half the sky a pale red.
As a wave of divine thought spread outwards, she observed the inhabitants of towns and cities falling into a deep slumber. Elders, youths, and children collapsed to the ground, and it seemed as though streets and houses lost consciousness in a brief instant.
She continued her journey, seeing monstrous beasts in the wilderness prostrate themselves on the ground, as if in a deep trance. Even trees and flowers had fallen into dormancy. The entire lava world seemed to fall silent, all living beings entering a state of sleep, as if in the depths of winter. Such immense power was truly unbelievable.
Dressed in a long crimson gown and holding a red umbrella, her features exuded a heroic and assertive spirit, yet were now filled with surprise and doubt. She mused, "To plunge a vast world into slumber in an instant—is this the true power of that mysterious and terrifying deity?"
A vast and boundless mechanical metal giant walked across the land. The Holy Sakura Great Emperor slowly turned her head to look. "Possibly a Ninth Tier..." she thought, widening her eyes in curiosity. As a traditional Ishdar native, seeing what might be the fragmented body of a Ninth-Tier world-level being, she felt no fear, only excitement. This was especially true given her unconventional and radical nature, which thrived on challenging norms.
Though she, and indeed the entire Ishdar civilization, might never attain such a supreme, mysterious level in their lifetimes, the fact that such an ancient being, capable of living for tens of thousands of years, had been brutally killed and fashioned into a weapon, revealed the true horror of it all!
Rationally, her best choice would have been to observe the structure of that Ninth-Tier mechanical war armor, which represented the Ishdar people's passion for machinery and their greatest opportunity. However, she refused. A deeper sense of bewilderment and confusion ignited within her; she yearned to seek out the primordial deity to confirm some answers.
"'Destiny?'" she wondered. "'This era is simply too wondrous, too unbelievable... The concept of the multiverse arose from it, allowing one to observe other parallel universes and choose the optimal future from countless observed world-lines.'" These terrifying new concepts relentlessly assailed her.
She walked among the verdant mountains, each step covering half a vast expanse of land. An ethereal female voice remarked, "'The brains of flesh-and-blood beings are naturally difficult to calculate, and invading them is a very profound level of skill. However, for creatures with magic cores, it's relatively easier... Therefore, beings within the magic core system will possess a trajectory of destiny.'"
Enveloped in a hazy divine light, she continuously observed the system of this civilization, marveling, "The world is balanced; everything has its patterns. All things grow and die according to natural laws. Understand them, and you understand destiny."
The growth of trees on a mountain follows a pattern. By understanding the temperature, mountain range trends, slope angles, and the flow caused by hot lava winds, then comprehending their minds and structures, and calculating future trends, one can understand the future growth of plants on that mountain. The births and deaths of humans in a city also follow a trajectory. By understanding a person's character, family background, talent, and intellect, by analyzing their brain and calculating the actions and interactions of surrounding townspeople, one can comprehend the future of an entire population.
A small hill can expand into a mountain range. A small city can expand into a nation. Innumerable living beings, continuously expanding, converging, and merging, will ultimately coalesce into an unseen destiny. The so-called destiny of an era is, in essence, the grand unified trajectory forged by the convergence of all beings!
"'What a beautiful fate,' Caroline mused, walking in a daze across the land. She understood how incredible the prospects and future of this world were, as if hearing a flowing piano piece of destiny, countless high and low notes mingling and converging into the most dazzling fate in the world. 'The multiverse, the future... What will become of this civilization? I eagerly await... Perhaps even in my mind, there already exists another parallel universe of the true ancient lava land? A parallel universe where the Ishdar people were not destroyed!'"
She suddenly realized: the primordial deity, back then, must have thought the same way when seeing her Ishdar civilization, right? After all, she was now another ancient god herself, and upon seeing a civilization, she unconsciously found herself empathizing with it.
"'Recalling past history,' she mused, 'the primordial deity did hide some things... yet it wasn't truly hidden. It was simply that my previous level was too low, my perspective too narrow. Only now, barely touching the threshold of the Ninth Tier and understanding this civilization's multiverse theory, have all the truths from back then... been fully completed!' Because this civilization's concept of the multiverse... perfectly explained the Ishdar civilization's previous cycles of reincarnation and destruction!"
The initial scene flashed through her mind. It was when she was with the primordial deity in a milk tea shop, outside where the media had gathered, and Mr. Levi demanded to speak with the ancient god. Only then did she realize the identity of the young man she had been conversing with. At that time, the primordial deity had offered Mr. Levi a choice regarding the path of civilization, but Mr. Levi had refused!
"'That conversation was the node of all destiny,' she realized. 'If I'm not mistaken... the convergence of world-lines began then. The primordial deity had already foreseen the destruction of the Ishdar people. So, he offered the Ishdar people a choice, but it was rejected. The future at that point could only lead to a fated end of destruction... that is, the civilization would repeat its past mistakes and enter the cycle of the previous civilization...' The Three Pillar Gods had seen the future. And the Ishdar people's original C language was, after all, a language programmed by the primordial deity. How could he not have foreseen it? The fate of the Ishdar people's future demise was, in the presence of this ancient being, likely already predestined to be a cycle."
"'Just as today, the appearance of the primordial deity also has a reason!' Her eyes burned with intensity, thoughts swirling relentlessly. How could the sudden appearance of a primordial deity be without profound meaning? 'Now, too, is a node of destiny. Just like Mr. Levi back then, he has given the Daughter of Prosperity a chance to choose... an opportunity to alter her future destiny and escape fate! He never interferes with a civilization's future, always entrusting them with the power to choose their own destiny.'"
Caroline took a deep breath, her heart filled with increasing reverence and awe, finding it truly incredible. Only when she peeled back the layers of mystery shrouding that ancient being did she see the true face of the entire world: fate, world-lines, reincarnation, the multiverse... The Ishdar people, it turned out, had already been ensnared within it all along, yet she herself had never noticed it before. 'Every appearance has profound meaning...' she mused. 'The Ishdar civilization only ever focused on two individuals. The conversation with Mr. Levi determined the world-line... and my encounter with him was likely no accident, but a fated meeting. I, too, am a protagonist of the future era. Like another Great Joy Emperor, Daughter of Prosperity, Subaru!'
"'My aptitude isn't the strongest, my wisdom isn't the highest, my temperament isn't the best; none of my qualities are outstanding. Yet, I was chosen... and I, by chance, reached the peak.' Her entire body began to tremble, and a chill ran down her spine—a coldness not of the flesh, but of the very depths of her soul. For a high-level god, this was an incredibly astonishing sensation. 'My future has already been foreseen... Like those three, I, too, am creating miracles and futures, ascending to the envisioned peak of civilization,' she said, her voice bitter. Given her pride, comprehending this truth inevitably caused her Dao Heart to crumble once more.
"'The world is a circle. I thought the Ishdar people were a circle, but I never imagined that ancient civilizations formed another circle. And now, I never would have thought there's a third circle....' She continuously deduced, and every single doubt about the Ishdar civilization, all the clues, pointed simultaneously in the same direction. This... This was the complete truth behind the Ishdar people's true destruction! The true text of history was now fully laid bare before her eyes. Perhaps destiny truly is... a cycle of fate and reincarnation.
"'So, I thought my future was entirely unknown... Who knew, it was already known.' Caroline's heart was filled with bitterness, a deep sense of loneliness and helplessness enveloping her. She walked in a daze, unconsciously arriving at her destination, gazing at the young man who had appeared before her. Time had left no trace on him. 'What do you want from me?' Xu Zhi asked, looking at the young goddess holding an umbrella. She seemed somewhat lost. 'Am I... also a slave to destiny?' She took a deep breath, her voice suddenly trembling, filled with bewilderment and bitterness, as she whispered ethereally, 'Am I... your slave?'"
